Pop Culture for the gay audience

Guilty Pleasure: Tyler Blackburn

I usually don’t go for guys with long hair, but there’s an exception to every rule and, in this case, Tyler Blackburn is the exception. Known to many fans as bad boy Caleb Rivers on Pretty Little Liars and the short-lived spin-off Ravenswood, Blackburn has been on television for the past ten years.

Born in Burbank, California, Blackburn is of English, Welsh, Czech, Swedish and Cherokee descent. He has three brothers and one sister. At the age of 17, he got his start on the Nickelodeon show Unfabulous. He continued to make television appearances, including Cold Case and Rockville CA. He had his first major recurring role as Ian on Days of Our Lives.

Recently, he starred in the web series, Wendy, in which he sang the theme song. He recorded another song for the other ABC Family hit, The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

In 2011, he starred in the independent film, Peach Plum Pear, which debuted at the Female Eye Film festival in Toronto. In 2012, he starred in the independent film, Hiding, alongside Jeremy Sumpter, Dean Armstrong and Dan Payne. In 2013, he starred in Ravenswood, which only lasted one season. In 2014, he was brought back to Pretty Little Liars on the series 100th episode.

Though we couldn’t get a full view, he’s got a cute little butt on him as well.
